How Global Reach Protects Your Email

More in this section

Email is easy to falsify and criminals have found different techniques to use email to exploit users. The Global Reach system administration team spends a significant amount of time deciphering email problems, following trends, and staying informed on the latest regulations. One of the most recent developments that Global Reach has been following is a set of rules developed by an organization called dmarc.org. These rules and regulations, collectively referred to as DMARC, were created in an effort to reduce internet spam, by helping to prevent spammers, spoofers and phishers from sending unauthentic email.

DMARC stands for Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance. It is a simple and effective way to confirm where an email message came from, and whether or not that place is actually allowed to send mail for the domain it says it is from. Global Reach’s clients can't always tell a real message from a fake one. This leaves Global Reach to make very difficult choices about which messages to deliver and which ones might harm users.

By adopting DMARC email methods, our system administration team can:

Ensure higher email deliverability

Reduce spam

Collect statistics about email messages

See how much email traffic is passing/failing email authentication checks

Request that email messages that fail authentication be quarantined or rejected

Receive data extracted from failed messages

All of the actions outlined above help Global Reach make informed decisions about which email to deliver, and thus protects your email from spammers, spoofers, and phishers. For more information on DMARC, go to www.dmarc.org.
